Perun Creative and Latest Past have announced that their retro-inspired first-person shooter Kvark will release on Nintendo Switch.
“Born out of a love for the genre,” the game has looked to pay homage to classics such as DOOM, Quake, Duke Nukem and Wolfenstein 3D.
Set in the late ’80s in the post-Soviet Czech Republic, times are hard and its citizens struggle to earn enough to put food on the table. When a job opportunity comes up to work for Kvark – a pure nuclear energy company looking to hire miners to work in its uranium mines – you don’t hesitate.
After a successful interview, you are taken underground as a new employee only to wake up alone and locked in a dark cell. Hearing nearby explosions and shouting, you realise you are the last prisoner in this terrifying facility and want nothing more than to learn the truth behind your predicament.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Fast-paced fights with a plethora of weapons, from wrenches to grenades, bazookas, and the iconic EK-48.
- Uniquely designed, diverse, and challenging enemies that require swift tactics and weapon swapping, quick thinking, and constant movement.
- Detailed, interactive levels that reward players willing to explore with hidden Easter eggs, additional perks, and achievements.
- Stylized retro graphics that bring old-school gaming nostalgia.
- A strong “just-one-more-level” vibe and loads of explosive fun!
Kvark will release digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide in 2023.
